Goldenseal powder is sometimes used on newborns umbilical cord stumps. When contaminated, the powder can cause serious infections that may lead to death. A different brand of contaminated goldenseal powder was linked to an infant death earlier this year.
Any adverse side effects from using this product should be reported to a health care professional.
